I recently relocated from Arizona and am grateful to call the Rogue Valley home. I’ve felt warmly welcomed by this vibrant community—and I’m truly honored to be joining the care team at Mederi Center. As a naturopathic doctor with a focus in integrative oncology, I’m dedicated to offering compassionate, individualized support to patients navigating cancer and other complex health conditions.
Integrative oncology combines the best of conventional cancer treatments with scientifically supported natural therapies. It aims to reduce side effects, improve quality of life, and support long-term health outcomes. My goal is to walk alongside each person throughout every phase of their cancer journey with care that is both evidence-informed and patient-centered.
I earned my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2015 and went on to complete a hospital-based residency in integrative oncology. I further refined my clinical skills at City of Hope in Arizona (formerly Cancer Treatment Centers of America), where I cared for patients at all stages of cancer—developing individualized plans to complement standard oncology protocols.
My approach integrates naturopathic therapies with conventional oncology in a collaborative, thoughtful way. I often work closely with oncology teams to ensure treatments are safe, supportive, and aligned with the patient’s medical plan. Interventions may include targeted nutritional supplementation, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and mind-body support. These therapies are selected based on a comprehensive review of each patient’s history, labs, and treatment course.
Managing side effects is a key focus. Nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, and digestive issues are common during chemotherapy or radiation. Through personalized strategies, I help mitigate these symptoms and support patients in maintaining strength and resilience during treatment and beyond.
At Mederi Center, I practice within the Mederi Care® model—a holistic, systems-based approach that blends botanical medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine with the latest biomedical science. Collaborating with Mederi’s clinical herbalists allows me to tailor herbal protocols to each patient’s type of cancer, constitution, and treatment plan.
Beyond the physical, I recognize that healing is a multifaceted process. Emotional and spiritual well-being are essential to recovery. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy, presence, and trust—providing patients with the guidance and support they need to feel empowered in their care. My goal is to serve as both a clinician and advocate, helping patients make informed decisions and navigate the complexities of cancer treatment with clarity and confidence. Integrative oncology is not a one-size-fits-all model; it is a dynamic, personalized approach that honors the whole person while enhancing the efficacy and tolerability of conventional care.
If you or a loved one would like individualized, integrative support for cancer or another health concern, I would be honored to be part of your care team. Please call Mederi Center at 541-488-3133 to schedule a new patient appointment.
